HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT

The Apparel Technical Designer II independently leads the technical fit and specification development of assigned apparel products from design through production readiness. This role owns measurement integrity, leads product fittings, evaluates construction and fit risks, and provides technical recommendations that support product-release decisions.

The Apparel Technical Designer II partners directly with the integrated product team, vendors, pattern and sample makers, and Product Development leadership to resolve complex technical issues. The role serves as a subject-matter expert in garment fit, construction, and fabrics and ensures technical documents, drawings, and specifications are complete, accurate, and production-ready.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

  • Own, perform, and record garment and accessory measurements to ensure alignment with approved product designs and fit specifications.
  • Lead and execute product fittings in collaboration with vendor partners; document decisions, required corrections, and accountability for follow-up actions.
  • Independently identify, evaluate, and resolve fit and construction concerns, ensuring specifications are updated before scheduled launches.
  • Confirm product fit testing is complete and provide technical release recommendations through the established product-approval process.
  • Partner directly with pattern and sample makers during design to confirm cut patterns, construction details, and required sampling are correct and complete.
  • Adhere to Product Development and Product and Project calendars.
  • Communicate fit-session recaps, testing results, technical risks, and calendar delays to the integrated product team; escalate launch-impacting issues promptly.
  • Develop and maintain productive relationships with vendors and manufacturers, resolving complex technical fit and construction issues directly.
  • Evaluate final products for technical fit, construction, and defect concerns and drive appropriate corrective action.
  • Maintain a 24-hour turnaround time for comments.
  • Serve as a subject-matter expert on product fit, construction, and fabrics, providing technical guidance to cross-functional partners and less-experienced team members.

QUALIFICATIONS

KNOWLEDGE/SKILLS/ABILITIES

  • Strong technical knowledge of pattern making and garment construction.
  • Proficiency in CAD, Photoshop, Illustrator, and other relevant design software.
  • Strong attention to detail, problem-solving, networking, decision-making, and time-management skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently lead fit sessions, make technically sound recommendations, and work effectively as part of a cross-functional team.
  • Knowledge of sublimation and team-sports apparel preferred.

EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE

  • Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design, Technical Design, Apparel Product Development, or a related field; equivalent combination of education and relevant experience considered.
  • 3+ years of progressively responsible apparel technical design experience, including independent fit-session leadership, technical specification ownership, and vendor-facing issue resolution.
  • Demonstrated expertise in garment fit, measurements, patternmaking, construction, technical packages, and production-sample evaluation.
  • Advanced proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and PLM systems; experience with CAD, Photoshop, and apparel fit/specification tools preferred.
  • Portfolio demonstrating technical packages, fit/specification work, and complex garment-construction or fit problem-solving strongly preferred.
  • No certification required. Advanced training in apparel technical design, patternmaking, PLM, or garment fit is a plus.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
